Sanyo just announced a trio of 1080i camcorders (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/sanyo-bungs-23x-optical-zoom-into-xacti-dmx-sh11-full-hd-into-d/) for Japan last week, and its now gotten official with some ever so slightly different model for the US, which look to just be the beginning of a new wave (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/sanyos-xacti-vpc-cs1-hd-camcorder-vies-for-worlds-smallest-t/) of Sanyo camcorders rolling out in the coming weeks and months. As you can see, these ones a bit more subdued than their brightly colored Japanese counterparts, and Sanyo has naturally changed the model names to keep everyone on their toes (they're now the VPC-GH2, VPC-CG102, and VPC-CG20). You'll still get the same 1080i video and either 14- or 10-megapixel still images as before, along with a somewhat unique 12x "double-range zoom" on the GH2 and CG102, which apparently lets you switch between a wide-angle and telephoto zoom for videos. Sure, full 1080p would have been nice, but it's hard to complain too much with prices of $229 and $199.
